Charting Revenue Over Time
Alderwood Supply's monthly pack charts revenue as a line, because the months run in order and the line makes the shape of the year visible at a glance. Above the chart sits one figure the board reads first: how much higher or lower revenue is in the last month of the period than it was in the first. A fall is written as a negative number, and a period that ends exactly where it started is written as zero. Nothing that happened in between affects this figure.
Task: Print the change in revenue from the first month to the last.
Input
The first line holds an integer n, the number of months. Each of the next n lines holds a month name and that month's revenue, separated by a single space. Months arrive in order and a name contains no spaces.
Output
One line holding the change as a plain integer, negative if revenue fell.
Example:
Input:
3
Jan 1000
Feb 1200
Mar 1500
Output:
500
